Motion carried. 1 16. Parking Prohibition west side Alder,llth to 13th - Sacred Heart Hospital requested prohibition of parking on the west side of Alder from 11th to 13th during the next ten months while construction at the Hospital limits entrances for emergency vehicles to the Alder Street entrance. The Public Works Department reported this prohibition will eliminate 15 metered parking spaces along the west side of Alder, and recom- mended leaving three spaces nearest to 11th Avenue. Mrs. Lauris moved seconded by Mr. Lassen to prohibit parking on the west side of Alder between 11th and 13th temporarily, leaving three spaces adjacent to 11th. Motion carried. Mr. Anderson moved seconded by Mr. Lassen to approve Item 16 of the Committee report. Councilwoman Lauris asked if use of metered parking spaces on Sacred Heart property can be negotiated to replace those removed from Alder Street. The Manager said inquiry would be made. Councilwoman Hayward asked if charges can be made as is the case in construction in downtown areas. The Manager explained a contractor is charged if a portion of the street or sidewalk is used on the basis of time and area used, but would not be so in this case since the contractor will not be using the public right-of-way. A vote was taken on the motion to approve, and motion carried. 2 17. Taxi Loading Zone, lath and Pearl, 8th and Willamette - Western Greyhound Lines re- quested that the taxi zones on lath Avenue near the Greyhound depot be moved to the Pearl Street side. Both taxi services are in favor of the request. The City Manager recommended against moving the zones because of conflict between use by private ~utos and by taxis and the resulting enforcement problem. It was recommended that the taxi zones on the west side of Willamette south of 8th be eliminated, and one zone be in- stalled on the north side of 8th east of Willamette. Mayor Cone suggested allowing scooter parking in the restricted zones at intersections where no visibility problem would exist. It was explained that restrictive provisions would apply to all vehicles, but the City Manager said it would be investigated. Dr. Purdy moved seconded by Mrs. Hayward to approve the taxi zone on the north side of 8th east of Willamette, elimination of taxi zones on the west side of Willamette south of 8th, and no change in the taxi zones on lath Avenue east of Pearl Street. Motion carried." Mr. Anderson moved seconded by Mr. Lassen to approve Item 17 of the Committee report. Motion carried. Other items on March 7, 1968 Committee agenda not considered at that time: 3 1. Parking Permit, Davidson Bakery, 2nd Avenue - Davidson Bakery requested permission to use for parking purposes the 2nd Avenue dedication where it terminates at the Southern Pacific tracks east of Jackson Street. The Public Works Department recommended permission be granted under a revocable permit providing Davidson maintains the surfacing of the area. Mr. Ander~n moved seconded by Mr. McNutt to approve the recommendation. Motion carried. 4 2. Millrace Agreement, University of Oregon - A proposed agreement with the University of Oregon was presented which would renew for five years the existing responsibilities for water level and cleaning and maintaining the millrace. He said a separate agree- ment will be negotiated concerning the control gate where the race crosses Franklin Boulevard. Councilman Wingard asked if it would be proper to refer the agreement to the Millrace Committee, and the Manager explained the agreement covers only the draining and cleaning and has no relevance to bank improvements or landscaping. Mr. Anderson moved seconded by Mr. McNutt to approve the agreement. Rollcall vote. All councilmen present voting aye, motion carried. 5 3. Parking, Fairfield Street - A report was read from the Public Works Department with regard to the parking prohibition on Fairfield Street north from Royal Avenue. The report recommended no change in the prohibition, and that no consideration be given to allowing parking of automobiles in the strip adjacent to the curb. It was the conclusion of the Public Works Department that the street eventually should be widened to 36 feet with sidewalk at the curb and parking allowed on both sides. Councilman Lassen commented on the ease with which traffic is able to move on the street since parking has been prohibited. Mr. Anderson moved seconded by Mr. Lassen to approve the report. Motion carried. 6 4. Harlow Road Right-of-way - The Public Works Department recommended purchase of the following properties for widening Harlow Road: Vincin A. Shaddy Norman M. Martinson Arthur G.
